    Great vid. I'm looking forward to the new comparison 'cuz I bought an i7+ just a couple of months ago. I always wonder if that spinning brush really helps 'cuz it seems to scatter stuff a lot. Plus, it has ALMOST enough power to get 1/2 of my main floor without a recharge. So, it needs to end up recharging and resuming 2 hours later more often than I think it should. I don't know if I could justify the cost of the i7+, but it's even harder with how much they want for the S9+.

    Very interesting. Bought this and its pricey, but it cleans very thoroughly. This thing is so powerful that it ran over something that cracked one of the rubber brushes. Fortunately iRobot is actually sending me out two additional brush kits. Its a great product albeit on the expensive side. Before I bought this thing I watched a bunch of your video reviews, but this wasn't up yet. The self-emptying and allergen thing really sealed the deal for me. I do feel battery life could be better but the fact that it recharges and empties itself kind of makes up for it. The cost of replaceable parts is a bit ridiculous, but for what it does its probably worth it.

  • @hotsoup1001
    @hotsoup1001 Pƙed 4 lety +1

    I currently own a Neato D4 and have no immediate plans to upgrade because it suits my needs very well. But, a few things intrigued me about the the S9: 1) self-emptying of course, but it doesn't justify the cost for me. 2) I'd get to keep the much better "D" shape that I'm used to with the wider main brush. 3) The 1" narrower design would be huge for me, since it seems my furniture was built perfectly to frustrate my D4.
    My one concern is that it still uses a camera. I like my vacuum to run in the middle of the night while I'm at work, and I don't want to have to leave lights on all over my house. I do like that camera bots have a lower profile since they don't have a laser turret though. Why didn't they put a couple of LED "headlights" on it so the camera wouldn't be an issue at any time or location?

  • @BirchlegGrim
    @BirchlegGrim Pƙed 2 lety +4

    Let me preface this review by saying, when this robot works, it’s pretty dang good
.. however, it doesn’t work for very long. Let me start at the beginning. I purchased this unit after an extensive few months of research. I could have bought any robot I wanted, but I settled on this robot based on all the reviews. I purchased it in Oct of 2020 and by January 2021, it was throwing errors and would not clean anything. Support was great, I called them up, I told them the issues, they sent me a new unit. The replacement unit seemed to work well for about ten months of being used maybe once a week. Around the beginning of December 2021 I was watching the unit clean my bedroom when all of the sudden it stopped and the red error light came on. No problem I thought, I’ll just put it back on the base since it was pretty much done in that room anyway. I put it on the base, but I could not clear the error. I removed the battery, did a factory reset, but the unit was stuck in an endless boot up loop with a spinning white light. I’ve not had the replacement unit for a year so I create a support ticket to see if they could help me out. After a long delay (despite the policy of responding within a day) I got a response about a week later with some troubleshooting tips. With it not being my first rodeo with these sorts of things, I had already tried to clear the error myself looking through numerous posts. Ultimately, I was asked to send my receipt, a video of myself pushing the clean button, and my address and phone number. After I did this, the ticket was escalated and I was told that there was nothing that could be done. The unit was out of warranty (the replacement unit was less than a year old) and they could not fix it nor replace it. So essentially, I have an $1100 dollar paper weight.
    Like everyone else who does their research, I had seen the negative reviews about the reliability of this unit. I decided to take the chance and assume that these negative reviews were the exception. After my experience with the robot, searching through all the Reddit posts and support forums, I’ve come to the realization that this robot is simply not reliable enough for the money people are paying for it. I buy high end tools all the time and when I pay upwards of $1000 for a tool, I expect to that tool to last a long time. This is not such a tool. In my estimation and my experience with it, I believe the fault lies in some sort of programming flaw. The hardware itself is amazing, very well made, but all the hiccups that I’ve noticed with this thing seem to revolve around what appears to be some sort of half baked OS. I could be complete wrong about that, but I’ve been in IT for twenty years so I’ve seen similar issues with computers. Overall it has just been an extremely disappointing experience with this robot and at the end, the customer service response just kinda solidified the idea for me that iRobot knows this device is unreliable. They are damaging their reputation in the industry and I think they will eventually realize this mistake when people chose other robots over their’s for increased reliability. Had I know this was going to be such an unreliable robot, I would have sacrificed features and power for reliability. Would have saved myself money too.
    Save yourself the headache I’ve had, look at other units, I would not recommend this unit to anyone.

      I heard a lot of the early manufactured s9 had lots of big batches that had a high chance of various kinds of hardware defects, including stuff that messed up the computer (hence the internal error codes)
      Supposedly the newer produced s9's are built far more reliable in terms of not having faulty hardware or defects. So (again, supposedly) the computer wouldn't get messed up by hardware faults alone, only from derp firmware.
      Which as we all know, _did_ happen that one firmware patch. Even now, not all the various ways the s9 encounters major errors have been fixed (but they have since the at least fixed it to be mostly usable now)

      The bags are eco friendly and made from recycled products, and burned like them as well, so don't really see the issue, given its not a deal breaker if u just buy the non + version and just empty the bin manually after each cycle vs waiting a few weeks instead.

    Yes, as everyone else has said. Amazing reviews. Great level of detail to put these devices through their paces. I live part of the time in the Us and part of the time in Australia. The Roomba S9+ is not yet available in Australia. Is there any markings on the power supply or power input of the cleaning base station to say what power it needs. I understand the US uses 110V power, and the Roomba S9+ base station comes with a US power cord. But is this a built in cord which only works with that voltage or does it use a DC power converter to supply say 19V of DC power? Can't see any info on this or a photo of the back of the base station to check this out. Either way I am looking at getting one for the US.

      The suction is good, and as a vacuum its great so everything that the Vacuum Wars guy is saying is correct but its not a good product. The mapping is atrocious and customer service is horrible. I'm not trying to take business away from this guy's channel its very good but "Is it good reviews!" did a pretty comprehensive user review of the robot and I find my experience more in line with his than with vacuum wars' review. Also they only sell the S9+ now which has the auto suction its not worth it in my opinion.

My Roomba gets stuck in place (on the ramps) a lot and gets confused and the amount of errors I get when cleaning my main floor is unreal. You won't be checking the machine once a day. For example, my last cleaning was cancelled because my robot was hitting a wall.
      That being said, the vacuuming/suction power is really good on my device. The replacement parts are extremely expensive (and cheap) but I'm assuming thats the same across companies. There are alternatives that work equally as well for half the price.
      What I would recommend is the Ecovacs Deebot OZMO T8 AIVI. I recommend watching the review I posted above because it gives the recommendation.

    I purchased both the i7+ & S9+ to see which one was better for my application. I have a 2000sqft apartment with half marble floor and the bedrooms in light pile carpet. The i7 works perfectly on all surfaces and cleans fantastically. The S9 gets constantly stuck on the carpet and ends up almost trying to burn through it, when it finally realises it's beached so goes full power in reverse and digs the wheels in, to no avail apart from damaging the carpet. The side brush gets itself all knotted up and renders itself pretty much useless after the training run. The i7 is a beast, the S9 is a product which is not fit for purpose in real world application, total waste of time and money in my eyes. Get the i7, you won't be disappointed.

    do you have any issues with it Hopping on premium plush carpet? I have a pretty dense, soft plush and I notice that it gets "wheel hop" when the brushes turn up to higher speeds on that carpet... the robot hops around for a bit, then stops.. seems to turn off its brushes and goes about sweeping.. then turns them bacxk on.. and they run fine as loing as the robot doesnt stop and turn.. when it stops and turns, it hops on the brushes again till it stops them and restarts them.. it still seems to get the dirt up, I went over my carpet with my shark right afyer it was done and very little dirt in the bin of the shark, so the S9 is doing its job... I do have it get caught sometimes under a credenza in my office that is Just taller than the S9.. so it goes under and touches the "celing" at somepoint and has gotten already there.. I havent found a way to stop it from goimg under yet.. it did eat the hose for my sleep number bed.. the rollers are soft so no damage, but it couldnt clear itself and called for help... on my hard floors it has no trouble going over the thresholds from my wood to tile to vinyl.. and the corners are cleaner than they were with my manual vacuum simply because I was too lazy to get the attachments out.. it takes 2 charges to do my 1 floor 1400 sq ft ranch.. the area it cleans is 80% hard floors and 20% super dense plush carpet.. im only in 5 days.. my first day or two it got lost finding its base and its battery went dead.. but now that the map is getting more complete that doesnt happen anymore.. so far the Cat has only hissed at it twice. i love the fact it will enpty itself, recharge and resume where it left off.
